Empowered: Stories That Move Us Forward
At deugro, we know our people are our greatest strength. For over a century, we have welcomed talent from all backgrounds and created a workplace where everyone has the chance to shine, no matter their role, gender, or story. We are proud that women advance in positions across operations, engineering, leadership, and innovation, and we never stop looking for exceptional individuals to join our team.
Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is more than a statement, it is part of daily life. From dedicated training and awareness campaigns to supportive networks, we give everyone tools and opportunities to grow and succeed.
Driving Inclusion in Project Logistics: Our DEI Promise and the Women’s Network
At deugro, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) serve as guiding principles for how we operate, both within our walls and throughout our external partnerships. Our DEI Statement shapes our daily decisions, influences our workplace culture, and guides the way we interact with our clients, partners, and communities around the world.
To make this real, over 90 percent of our team has completed hands-on DEI and unconscious bias training, making inclusion second nature in our global operations.
Another initiative that truly sets us apart is the deugro Women’s Network. In an industry where complex projects and tight deadlines are the norm, this network stands out as a source of support, fresh ideas, and genuine connection. Through mentorship, practical panel discussions, upskilling sessions, and informal meetups, women at deugro find the resources and networks they need to lead and innovate.
The Women’s Network is not just about empowerment, it is about building a community where everyone can grow, thrive, and connect with other like-minded individuals.
